WTF, 1-shotted by Shugoki? | Forums

[sinfulomnicide]

So literally just 2 minutes ago i was dueling the same Shugoki. This was our third and last duel (as I was planning on leaving after 3 best of 5 fights) and it is the first duel of the set.

I was dominating the Shugoki, I haven't taken a single hit and he is at about 10% HP. At this point I was going to just do the double tap light attack and close the set. HOWEVER, the Shugoki charges me and catches me in his back breaker grab and it ONE SHOTS ME!

From 100% Life (I am using Orochi) to instant death by a Single Grab.

Here is the issue. He has done that grab on me several times and I have taken a decent amount of damage from it. Why in that instance did it kill me? It makes no sense. We continued those matches and he grabbed me about 2 more times during the course of 4 more fights and they never 1 shot me. They did about 2 bars of damage. So what changed?

Why did I get 1 shot when he was at 10% and all the other times he grabbed me he did only 2 bars? He wasnt in revenge mode so damage wasn't boosted. There was no environment to kill me on, I was killed by the attack animation from 100% HP but I still won the set.

Is there something I am missing or was it a bug?

If the Shugoki is on critical health it will one shot anyone.

Check his moveset, Demon's Embrace I think it's called.

Whoa Whoa seriously? I did NOT know that.

Its in his moveset. It allows a one shot when hes in critical state.

Yeah it seems a bit ridiculous but now you know, it's easy to be ready for it and dodge it. Most will try and go for it, so wait, dodge and finish him off.

After he uses demons embrace and if he misses, theres a HUGE delay before he can move again.

Well yeah in a duel that would be the way to go but in a 4v4 or something similar? Can you imagine getting to Critical killing your opponent and then staying at Critical, come from behind an enemy that is busy with your ally and then 1 shotting them and then rinse and repeat?

That seems pretty busted.

if hes on 1 bar or half a bar he will 1 shot you all day as many of the post above have mentioned

It's one of the most telegraphed moves in the game though, as people become more and more aware of it, it'll be a lot harder to pull off.

Its telegraphed but what I am saying is, the Camera when you are locked on will never show what is behind you. Meaning if I was in critical life and you were fighting someone with your back facing me. Suddenly I grab you and instant kill you from full HP.


Fact is this is 100% possible due to how the camera works.

I mean if been caught by random people popping up behind me out of nowhere so a Shugoki charge from the blind spot in my camera would be equally as easy.
